HotDog conductive fabric warming was developed by Dr. Scott Augustine and the same team that pioneered forced-air warming more than 20 years ago. It was particularly intended to fulfill the demands that are placed on today’s physicians and healthcare institutions.
Augustine is not simply the most prominent critic of the Bair Hugger in the whole wide universe. In addition to that, he was the one who came up with the idea back in 1987.
What is hotdog® patient warming?
HotDog® Patient Warming is a cutting-edge perioperative warming solution that does not use air or water and is completely airtight. Inside of HotDog’s blankets and beds is a pliable and lightweight conductive polymer fabric, which is what makes the products so effective in providing warmth.
What is the history of patient warming?
The industry standard for patient warming is provided by Augustine Temperature Management. When Dr. Scott Augustine was a pioneer in the field of forced-air warming some 25 years ago, he also established the patient warming field. Since then, hundreds of millions, if not billions, of patients have reaped the advantages of normothermia over the course of their surgical procedures.
What is hotdog?
Dr.Augustine and his team of engineers came up with a warming solution that satisfies the requirements of the modern healthcare community in order to address their concerns about patient safety during ultra-clean procedures.This was made possible by important technical developments.The answer to this problem is the air-free conductive cloth patient warming system called HotDog.The warming effect of the HotDog is not to be taken lightly.
